Two arrested over stabbing death | |
(about 12 hours later) | |
Two men are being held in connection with a murder at a greengrocer's in south London. | |
Khalilulah Naseri, 25, was stabbed through the heart during a row outside the shop in Atlantic Road, Brixton, on Saturday night. | |
Detectives think the attack may be linked to an altercation outside the same premises on Thursday. | |
On Monday a 21-year-old was arrested in Kennington, south London, while a man, 38, was held in Brixton on Tuesday. | |
Blunt instruments | |
Officers were called to the shop, at the junction of Electric Avenue, amid reports of three men being attacked. | |
Mr Naseri, who lived in the area and knew the shop owner, died at the scene. | |
Two other men, thought to be aged 18 or 19 and who worked at the store, have been discharged from hospital where they were treated for head injuries. | |
Officers believe they may have been attacked with blunt instruments. | |
Detectives are appealing for anyone who saw the incident - or the earlier altercation at about 1850 GMT on Thursday - to come forward. | |
Det Ch Insp Mick Duthie said: "There were a number of people in the area at the time of the incident - residents, shop workers, passers-by, shoppers. | |
"I urge anyone who could possibly assist but who has not yet come forward to do so." |
